I have a level 10 E-mag using the longest spring, 1.0 carrier, and two shims. Always worked fine up until last weekend. It doesn't fire electronically. I can hear the solenoid clicking but it won't shoot (bolt won't even move and no air is released. On Saturday it wouldn't shoot on E then I shot it in manual and it worked on E the rest of the day. Sunday it would only shoot on E every now and then regardless of whether I pulled the trigger in manual first. I spent Monday trying to fix it. Today it won't fire on E at all. I checked all the wires on the board and battery and found no loose contacts. I thought something might be dragging but the on/off pin and the solenoid plunger are perfectly straight and from what I can tell the solenoid is aligned with the sear so it shouldn't be causing any drag, I tried lowering the velocity to see if there was too much pressure on the on/off for the solenoid to push it and this had no effect. Battery has a full charge, HPA tank was full and on/off on the CA adapter was open all the way. My final guess is the adjustment on the plunger walked and I don't want to mess with that without help or something (solenoid or battery) will need replaced and I hope that's not the case. I have a tournament this Sunday and need to get this gun fixed! Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
